- KPKaylie PowellFeb 3, 20263.0Purchased windshield wipers for my vehicle and had asked for them to be fitted, the employee responded about breaking a nail. The gentleman next to her graciously offered to fit the wipers which I was greatly thankful as I had no idea how to do it myself.

HOW DO BRAKES WORK?
Expand FAQ item
Brakes work by using friction to turn kinetic energy into heat. There are two designs: drum brakes (older), and disc brakes (newer). Both use hydraulic pressure to move a piston outward. In disc brakes, the piston is located inside a caliper that houses brake pads and fits over the rotor. The friction lining on the pads makes contact with the rotor to slow the vehicle. In drum brakes, the piston moves two curved shoes lined with friction material against the inside of the brake drum.
